If you can get one of these, it reduces to one switch.

I just checked the Maplins online catalog (Maplins is the UK equivalent
of Radio Shack) for their standard range of panel mount rotary switches.
These are 1,2,3 and 4 pole types (12,6,4 and 3 positions). They have a
movable stop so you can blank off unwanted positions. Something like
these is available pretty much anywhere.

They are rated at up to 5 amps, so should be OK in a glider panel.
